Ok in the past, I've cut myself about 3 times in 6th grade and 4 times in 7th and once in 8th and I've overdoced twice and cut myself 5 times last summer. I also have a plan of how to die and I know it'll work, but my question is... Can I still be suicidal if I think about cutting myself and imagine the cuts and lots of blood on my arm/wrist? After a while of the thought of cutting, I will actually cut myself... it's the only way to get it out of my mind. Oh and I've never been sent to a hospital, close, but no.

Could you tell us why you cut yourself? Are you trying to hurt yourself or others in this process, or do you get some kind of pleasure out of the cutting? It certainly is possible you are suicidal, and I would suggest you speak with a professional who can make an accurate diagnosis. This will be crucial to finding a good therapy program, to make sure you don't hurt yourself anymore. We care for you. ☼ ♥♥♥

You're nuts if you think that suicide is painless.
Every "quick way out" has the possibility of failure.
Cutting yourself may take many painful hours for death.
Hanging yourself may not mean immediate death, and could lead to asphyxiation, which is like being drowned - horrific.
You need to seek medical help by checking your own self into the hospital, rather than have a friend or family member to it for you.
It's called Form 1 instead of Form 3 admittance.
With the Form 1, you will have certain benefits.
Please don't be suicidal, turn your life around by making the sacrifice of spending a week or 2 in the mental health ward of the nearest hospital. May God bless you, my friend.

Do you think it isn't serious because you haven't been sent to hospital? Let me tell you this is serious, go to hospital now, before you do something that could end your life. Whatever the problems are that are causing this, they can be dealt with. The doctors will find another way to stop you from thinking about cutting yourself. There are other ways to get it out of your mind. You deserve a happy life and you can have it, if you get help. Best wishes.

Well....a lot of people associate cutting with suicide, but it isn't the same thing. I am also a cutter and I do it to feel to feel the pain, but not to die. I think it could lead to suicide for me, but I am suicidal anyway. It just depends on you. You should get help (and so should I, but I'm too stubborn).
Also, it really pisses me off that people say, "Oh, you're a cutter. You just want attention". Sure, some people do it for the attention, but can you say that about the girl that tells no one and hides all of her scars? It's sad that people don't even try to understand (Also to the people that say "Go die", you will get yours. Karma's a *****).

Yes I would think so... because you are thinking ot it. I assume that you are young.... I just don't understand why kids these days cut themselves. There are other ways to cope any kind of depression... like talking to someone for example.

no, you are not going to kill yourself..
just leave a lot of stupid scars on your arms that will look ugly when you are older --
so stop doing it...
go see a therapist and try to work out why you want to hurt yourself...
everytime you get the urge to hurt yourself think of one good reason why you should not ---like how ugly it looks and then don't do it
you may want to get tattoos instead... they hurt but look pretty afterwards and they are socially acceptable now.

Well, you're quite open aren't you. Honestly, I don't think you should be worrying about if your thoughts are suicidal. I think you should be more worried about getting medical attention...
